I guess I don't completely understand the hand-ringing about trading for another max player. In fact, I see a salary cap way the Cs could trade for a player like Giannis and get out of the 1st apron this season. That would reset the apron penalties. If we then used the big trade exception in the off-season for another solid rotation player, we'd be looking at a 2-3 year window with the Giannis-Tatum-Brown core. We'd be the favorites.
The trade idea would be something like White, Simons, Hauser, and Minott (plus draft picks, and possibly one of Hugo or Walsh) for Anthony and the 3 brothers. We'd then sign Ron Harper Jr. to a team-friendly contract.
We'd start Pritchard-Brown-Tatum-Walsh-Giannis with Queta-Hugo-Baylor-Garza-Anthony off the bench.
Don't get lost on the trade idea primarily here. My main point is that it is possible to add another all-star player while getting out of the 1st apron and resetting the apron penalties.
